Time Series Analysis of the Digital Elevation Model of Kuwait Derived from Synthetic Aperture Radar Interferometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
The digital elevation model derived from SAR Interferometry is prone to atmospheric, penetration into soil medium, system noise and decorrelation errors. Eight ASAR images are selected for this study which have unique data set forming 7 InSAR pairs with single master image. It is expected that all the DEMs should have the same elevation values spatially with in the noise limits. However, they differ very much with one another beyond the noise levels indicating the effects of atmosphere and other disturbances. The 7 DEMs are compared with the DEM of SRTM for the estimation of errors. The spatial and temporal distribution of errors in DEM are analyzed by considering several case studies.

Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) technology provides a useful tool for quantitatively measuring the deformation of the earth, influenced by natural factors (earthquake, subsidence, and landslide) and human factors (construction of structures, drilling, and the overexploitation of underground water aquifers). In this context, time-series analysis of radar images allows the monito...
